Description
Ghostery for IOS is a mobile browser that helps you manage the data collected about you as you browse. With Ghostery for iOS, you can:
DETECT:
Ghostery sees the "invisible" web, detecting trackers, web bugs, pixels, and beacons placed on web pages by Facebook, Google Analytics, and over 500 other ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers - all companies interested in your activity.
LEARN:
After showing you who operates behind the scenes, Ghostery also gives you the opportunity to learn more about each company it identifies, including links to their privacy policy and opt-out options.
CONTROL:
Ghostery allows you to block scripts, images, etc. from companies that you don't trust.
COLLABORATE:
Ghostery also includes the optional, opt-in feature called GhostRank, which sends Ghostery servers anonymous information about the trackers you encounter and where you encounter them. This helps us improve and support Ghostery.
PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY:
Ghostery is built and maintained for users that care about their online privacy, and is engineered with privacy as a primary goal. Ghostery use is anonymous. No registrations or sign-ups are required. Neither the Ghostery app, nor our parent company Evidon receive any data from Ghostery users unless the user opts-in to participate in GhostRank. GhostRank data is anonymous, it is NEVER used for advertising targeting purposes, and it is only shared in an aggregated, non-personal, statistical form.
As a browser, Ghostery for iOS supports several key features for ease of use, like bookmarking, tabbed browsing, cookie/cache clearing, and search via DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo is a search engine built with privacy in mind. You can learn more at http://duckduckgo.com/about.html.

Customer Reviews
It is great
So tired of the trackers. It is nice to get even for a change.
iOS Limitations Apparent
I am new to iPad and am gradually becoming aware of limitations. Ghostery is very powerful and configurable as a Safari extension on my Macs but on iOS it seems to be just a standalone browser that offers privacy to be sure but gives up the ability to log into some sites. Control over bugs seems gone. It's all or none. I'll work with it awhile but it does not look promising under iOS.
Yea for privacy!
Good stuff. I wish ghostery could run at the system level and protect all iPad apps.
